The planning, implementation, finalisation and reporting of high-quality research depends on the knowledge, skills and competencies of the many individuals who make carrying out the research possible.
This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale in order to identify the scientific research competencies of nursing professionals at undergraduate and graduate level.
This methodological study was carried out on 937 nursing personnel, 422 (45%) of whom were academic members and 515 (55%) were undergraduate students. The Anxiety Scale Towards Research and the Attitude Scale Towards Scientific Research were used for the criterion validity.
The Scientific Research Competency Scale comprises 57 items in four sub-dimensions named as 'technical skills', 'attitude and behaviours', 'estimation capacity' and 'foreign language skill'. The Cronbach alpha, Guttmann split-half and Spearman Brown reliability coefficients for the scientific research competency scale were, respectively, 0.98, 0.96 and 0.96. The sensitivity and specificity value, by which the research competency of individuals could be determined with minimum error, was indicated to be at 190 breakpoints of the scientific research competency scale.
As a result, the scientific research competency scale developed is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to determine the scientific research competencies of nursing professionals.
高质量研究的规划、实施、完成及报告取决于众多使研究得以开展的个人所具备的知识、技能和能力。
本研究旨在开发一个有效且可靠的量表,以识别本科及研究生层次护理专业人员的科研能力。
本方法学研究对937名护理人员开展,其中422名(45%)为学术人员,515名(55%)为本科生。采用科研焦虑量表和科研态度量表进行效标效度检验。
科研能力量表由57个项目组成,分为“技术技能”“态度与行为”“评估能力”和“外语技能”四个子维度。科研能力量表的克朗巴哈α系数、古特曼折半系数和斯皮尔曼-布朗信度系数分别为0.98、0.96和0.96。个体科研能力可在科研能力量表的190个分界点处被最小误差确定的敏感度和特异度值。
因此,所开发的科研能力量表是一个有效且可靠的工具,可用于确定护理专业人员的科研能力。
